New advisory fuel rates for company cars
driving
Advisory fuel rates only apply to employees using company cars.

Rates came into effect on 1 September

HMRC has published new advisory fuel rates for employees using company cars.

The rates came into effect on 1 September but the guidance states: 'You can use the previous rates for up to one month from the date the new rates apply.'

Advisory fuel rates only apply when you reimburse employees for business travel in company cars, or when employees are required to repay the cost of fuel used for private travel. The rates must not be used in any other circumstances.

The new rates are as follows:

Engine size
 Petrol - amount per mile
 LPG - amount per mile
1400cc or less 11 pence 7 pence
1401cc to 2000cc 13 pence 9 pence
Over 2000cc 20 pence 13 pence


Engine size Diesel - amount per mile
1600cc or less 9 pence
1601cc to 2000cc 11 pence
Over 2000cc 13 pence

BBC Radio 4 documentary addresses corporate fees

BBC Radio 4's File on 4 Investigates has released a documentary exploring how corporate-owned veterinary practices may be inflating bills to increase profit.

Released on 15 April, 'What's Happening To Your Vet Bills?' revealed the policies which many corporate groups have in place to increase their profits. This included targets and upgrades which veterinary teams are tasked with meeting on a regular basis.

It also features Anrich Vets, an independently-owned practice based in Wigan. Following the case of Staffordshire terrier Benjy, who is diagnosed with a tumour, the documentary shares how the team were able to offer contextualised care and advice to make the procedure as affordable as possible for his owners.

The documentary can be heard on demand on BBC iPlayer.
